interesting stuff snipped


Well yes but the lack of steps and the ability to lower the bus to
kerb level do help somewhat. Low floor buses aren't perfect but step
entrance buses do feel "odd" if you're used to just using low floor
buses. I travelled on an old RF last week [1] and it was like climbing
a mountain to get inside ;-)

Before I got to the end of the paragraph I thought that the most
extreme step entrance bus I know is the RF.

[1] special working on the 210.

I'd have liked to travel on that. I used to hate it though when a green
Line RF turned up instead of an RMC. No legroom!
